2. Quids in – or out

Third Force News have devastating news about the new £1 coin. It won’t fit into many charities’ collecting tins…


 

3. A colourful story

If you have got the blues about April Fools’ Day then you might enjoy this prank. It was all the more convincing because Cancer Research UK is the sponsor of the Boat Race, courtesy of a donated commercial sponsorship. 


 

4. Cool humour


 

5. Goosed by a duck

The National Trust has just discovered a second Bronze Age figure next to the Uffington White Horse. It is a duck.

See it on Facebook.

No laughing matter

Sometimes some issues simply aren’t funny. So some charities use 1st April to make that point.
